That wasn’t a short intro at all 😅 — but I’m genuinely thankful you shared it.
I read every part like a quiet story I didn’t know I needed. It’s wild how your journey started with just one conversation in school… and now, decades later, it’s shaped your entire life.
You didn’t just survive the system — you understood it and chose a different path. That’s rare… and incredibly inspiring.
I’m only just starting out, but I hope to build that kind of awareness and peace over time. Knowing that even the smartest people around you didn’t always get it makes me feel less alone.
I might not have all the tools yet, but I feel like I’m in the right place now — learning from people like you. So again… thank you. Truly. 🧡
